Project Description Narrative:

A staggering 1 in 4 American children witness family violence, an adverse childhood experience that increases the risk of children continuing the cycle of violence in adulthood. This project will work to mitigate the toxic and intergenerational effects of family violence through the creation of a collective impact initiative to improve data sharing and assure collaborative and consistent interventions when children experience family violence.
